Basking in the Glow of the (not so) Creepy Clown -2/11-Pictures, Final Thoughts, PTR!

[LoveMyTwoPrincesses]

What an awesome start! Your pictures are just fantastic. That is so neat that you had time to explore to explore with just Henry, but it is great that Joe was able to make it down EARLy.

I have to go back and finish reading.

I just had to say that a Chic Fil A just openened in my area TODAY! I'm so happy. Also the one in Wisconsin is in Racine so quite the drive from MN!

I must have missed that you sold your house and moved to NY Congrats! (I think I missed one of your TR's)

What a cute reaction to seeing his Daddy!! I love surprises like that

 

[manntra]

Thank you for the tour of the BW. It is such a beautiful resort and I look forward to staying there again someday George isn't so bad either
Adorable Henry pictures all around. Looks like he had a blast in the arcade and running through the grass. I love the grass too!!! Mine at home doesn't look quite as nice as Disney grass!
Loved the reunion of Daddy and son What an adorable story!
Thanks for all of the videos too! The last one of your balcony when you were pointing over to Epcot...it looked like you were poking SE!!!

Loving all your pictures of the BW. We explored a bit the first day we were there, but then not much after that...kept using DH's shortcuts so we missed alot. Seems we missed a bunch!

 

[Brae's Mom]

Great start!!! We are having our first stay at the Boardwalk Villas next June. I'm curious.......there doesn't look like much drawer space.......is there any sort of closet in the studio room?

Can't wait to read about the rest of your trip.

A Boardwalk View would be beautiful! I would love to watch the boats.

Have you seen pics of BWI's recent refurb? It's completely stunning!!

I haven't seen the refurb pics, yet. I'll have to check them out.

You're pics of the resort are stunning. I felt like I was right back there again.

It's super simple...take the international gateway, it's a little walk way coming from the UK right before France. You can hop on a boat or take a quick walk right ot the boardwalk area!!

Yep - in the WS instead of turning left to go over the bridge into France (when walking from the UK), keep going straight down the path and hill. There is a small gift shop on the right, then through the gates. Follow the sidewalk and you'll see the YC/BC and the BW. It's really easy and a quick walk!
The boat dock is directly to the left of the turnstiles.
.

Thank you both for the info, we are going to check out the boardwalk for sure this year.

First..... Great Pics!

I just found out that there is a Chik-fil-A in the student center of our local college and it's open to the public! I haven't checked it out yet but I will! Usually we have to drive an hour to get some. The ice cream there is really good too. It's soft serve but it's kinda custard like..... maybe, I don't know but it is good!

Somehow I 'overlooked' this last update..... (or updates)


Amazing. Simply amazing. The view. The resort. The pool area (except that dang clown... he is still creepy!). The boardwalk. What a beautiful resort.

I wouldn't sit in that clown chair in the lobby(?). NO WAY! The funny thing is I'm not even scared of clowns.

How cute of Henry calling out for Joe! Joe didn't make bad time either.. thank goodness for Earl!!!!!!

 

[MRYPPNS]

I'll be back to catch up.....I think I have been living in a bubble the last few weeks to have missed this!

Thank you so much for the Mickey postcard. The kids' eyes light up everytime I show it to them.....priceless!

 

[reelmom]

Not sure why I haven't joined you yet? Going back to catch up.

 

[blessedby3]

Holy Cow----I just found your tr and its already 15 pages deep!!! Where have I been?? Heading to the front page to soak up the report

 

[photographymom517]

Loved the update of exploring the resort!!! It is really beautiful inside & out! I'm not sure what my favorite picture was...they were all beautiful!

So glad you were able to find the playground area for Henry! I know Luke loved playing on the playground at CBR...I think they love the playgrounds & pools just as much as the parks!

I know what you mean about the arcades! We had our free card from Disney Destinations & then I think we purchased 2 others (maybe the $5 ones I'm not sure). I'm scared for when Luke gets older & wants to spend hours in the arcade! We'll be broke before even entering the parks!

That was perfect timing for you & Henry to meet Joe! Such a cute picture of the two of them!

 

[reelmom]

Great start. The BW is gorgeous. I would love to stay there one day. Henry is growing like a weed! I can't believe how fast he has grown.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Oh, Brook, I so love your updates. You capture such great details! BW definitely looks like a contender for a place that could tear me away from the Beach Club.

H is just so cute. He cracks me up in the video with "I no have bed" and he's perfectly happy about it!

You guys really did luck out with that view. AMAZING.

Looking forward to more!

PS-clown chair totally creepy

Okay I actually used "that's nice" in corect form today. I was in traffic and some wonderful person decided they wanted to be in front of me and well, cut me off. I say out loud, " NICE, THAT'S NICE" and then just laughed and made a mental note to make sure i let you know.


Brook- Is everyone Okay after those and I quote from the weather channel "swirlie winds" that came through your area. I immediately thought of you when I thought of that.

Now to go check on parents and friends on LI.

Just quickly reading comments before I'm off to bed....I only heard about that from a gal in the subway tonight! I don't even know where the tornado was...Jamaica, Queens maybe? All the trains were MESSED UP due to a fire on 5th Ave and then the LIRR was screwy I think too because of the tornado...I gotta Google and get the details.

At our house it was short and BIG storm, lots of lightening and thunder instantly after it, heavy rain, the sky looked a bit green - but it only lasted about 10 minutes.

Okay, I was able to catch up on all the pages before heading to bed for our trip tomorrow. Love the birthday photos. The pictures you took of the resort are simply beautiful (but that clown slide is still scary ). I love the "exploring photos" and Henry in the arcade. But the most special are when he found his daddy. I'll try to keep as up to date as I can while we are gone.

That is too funny!

(not that you got cut off.... that you used my(really, my DW and her friends but now mine too) phrase!)
